Actually it's funny you should say this

Because wii doesn't use blue tooth. it uses a camera and 2 lights. Sensor bar imits 2 lights that the wiimotes camera picks up.

It's sonys ps3 controller that uses bluetooth to communicate with it's console. This innovating a new type of controller :P

 And read my last post for the d-pad part.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but the wii mote does use blue tooth. The sensor bar is used for IR tracking for laser pointing like functionality. But the wii mote still has to communicate what its camera picks up back to the console. It communicates that through blue tooth.

I see. I didn't know that. Makes sense actually.

 

So both controllers use bluetooth then. Fair enough.

 

 

@chrizum. Frankly you sound like a fanboy with that statement. No offense.

 

 

Regardless of all this. I didn't mean to spin the thread partially off topic. It's gonna be interesting to see what all the big 3 does in the future. The showing of 3d versions of motorstorm, gt5p and wipeout by sony at gdc in particular have me excited :p
